The space within an atom, which is the building block of what we call matter, is about 99% formless space.  The remaining parts are neutrons and protons clustered at the center, and electrons that circle like the planets circle our sun.  The neutrons, protons and electrons are all spinning vortexes that are electrically charged.  Each has what is called subatomic particles.  The reason matter appears to be solid is that the spin forms a holographic effect, like the spokes on a bicycle when the wheel is spinning.  You cannot put your hand through the spokes when the wheel is spinning. Atoms are always spinning, and they each have a different frequency, so you cannot walk through a wall. 

Our entire Universe, which we are all part of, is made up of formless space, and spinning forms. Form expands and contracts from and into the formless.  The formless space, which is 99% of existence, seems to have intelligence.  Science only knows the effect of this intelligence as it expresses itself in form. Mystics, philosophers and the founders of the great spiritual practices would call this intelligence God.

Therefore, as Christ and others have said, "The Kingdom of God is within you."  The "form" that each of us is floats in, and is cradled by, this formless intelligence.  That is why wise beings are always telling us to look within.

In Eckhart Tolle's book A New Earth, he talks about the importance of reconciliation between your inner and outer purpose.  He says, "If you look within rather than only without, however, you discover that you have an inner and an outer purpose, and since you are a microcosmic reflection of the macrocosm, it follows that the universe too has an inner and outer purpose inseparable from yours."

I have found that teams of leaders are attracted to each other, professions, and to particular businesses.  Sometimes, this common outer purpose is a reflection of a deeper inner purpose.  But often that deeper inner purpose, which can supercharge the outer purpose, is not always clear to each individual or the team.  Once each leader begins to discover their inner purpose or genius, the level of "acceptance, enjoyment and enthusiasm," which Eckhart Tolle feels is an indicator of this alignment, goes up dramatically.  Each leader then begins to see the synergy within the team and creativity expands. The organizational culture becomes vibrant, people want to be part of it, and the marketplace finds that being connected to the business and its people is irresistible, because on some level they recognize the expression of genius.

It takes courage to take the first step toward this state of being.  It seems we fear transcendence more than "the darkness." Our egos, fears and the world tell us it is a crazy and dangerous dream, but it is not crazy, it is our purpose to lead enterprises of this kind.  Imagine what our world would be like if every corporation, country, and community was an outward expression of true inner purpose and genius.

The Nature of Thought

There are many different types of thought, some trap you in circular thinking and others help you dance with the flow of cause and effect. In the next newsletters, I will explore how to use thought to influence the flow of cause and effect. So subscribe the the news letter so I can send you the latest topics. But first, definitions:

Old Thought: Beliefs, assumptions, and cognitive frameworks stored in the mind during past experiences, which are at best an approximation of reality, and at worst, a distortion.

Comparative Thought: Rethinking of old thoughts to create new frameworks, which are more complex, but still are a rearrangement of old thoughts, often ending in circular thought.

Flowing Thought: Flows during peak experiences, such as being in "The Zone," which is much closer to the nature of reality.

Intention: A state of being that integrates with flowing thought, which influences, in many ways, the flow of cause and effect. In my book, Unleashing Genius, I call this combination of flowing thought and intention, "Integrative Presence."

Original Thought: Describes the insights experienced during "Integrative Presence." Compared with "old thought" or "comparative thought," these thoughts are genius.

You can find out more in my book "Unleashing Genius," which you can purchase on my website at www.pauldavidwalker.com ... The book and all these enteries are designed as a point of departure for exploration.

 

"Genius is, as I define it, collaboration with the natural flow that extends from the present, and from the knowledge, intention and consciousness of an individual or group. It is achieved through Integrative Presence, which allows you to integrate all the realities of the moment simultaneously while combining them with your intention. Those who master this will Unleash Genius within themselves, the people who follow them, and their team, to create new realities once unimaginable."  -Paul David Walker, Unleashing Genius

My next book will be stories about people who have achieved this state.  People want to know how to integrate this state into their lives, and I believe real stories followed by reflection will help people more that anything.  If you help, I will of course give you full credit in the book.

I would like to hear stories about times in your life that you achieved Integrative Presence.  Tell us what lead to this state of mind, how you entered, what the experience was during Integrative Presence, and what took you out of that state.

 

"From moment to moment we are living our thoughts about life, life itself or some combination of both.  What are the differences between life itself and our thoughts about life?"   -Paul David Walker, Unleashing Genius

How do you know the difference?

 

"When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world."  -Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks

How do you maintain stillness in your life?

"At some point in time, commitment becomes intentionality. Commitment moves from a sense of need to a clear picture and feeling regarding a future state. From the present, your consciousness can perceive the path to success. Many have written about the power of this kind of commitment fueled with intention."  - Paul David Walker, Unleashing Genius 

Goethe, a well-known German thinker, said:

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too, all sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen events, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!"

How do you create commitment to your ideas and goals?

"Genius is when you connect with "The Great Intelligence" which is the life force, and combine that connection with your knowledge and unique being."

The question is how often do you find yourself connected with the flow and how do you work in the world while you are connected.?
